What are teeth braces used for?

Answer 1

Braces are a band of metal that raps around your teeth and eventually make them straighter. You go once every month, they tighten them and you pick a new color. Don't worry braces don't hurt that bad, but you need to be careful with them and make sure you brush your teeth after every meal or snack because you could get yellow teeth when they take them off, puffy gums and food stuck in your braces! So when you get braces you just need to make sure you are careful to brush all the time.

Answer 2

Personally to me i think braces to better once you get used to them. but when u have a retainer, i gets really uncomfortable at times.(most of the time) so i think braces are better. oh and it depends what kind of braces you have too.

Braces are much better. I had braces and now a wear retainers at night. Braces are much more expensive but retainers don't work as well. Also check out the product Invisiline I hear its very good and not as expensive as braces!

CadaeicCicada added:

--More accurately, when you get your braces off, your teeth are still a bit loose in the bone of your jaw because the braces were moving them around. The retainer holds your teeth in one position while they settle and firm up into place. It retains the shape your teeth are in.

Answer 4

A retainer is used to keep your teeth straight for a set period of time after braces. After braces come off, it takes a while for your teeth to get used to no braces again, and in that time the teeth might become crooked again. So that's where a retainer comes in, and you wear it until the set period of time is finished.

Don't worry if it looks odd, because it'll all be worthwhile when it's all done.

Answer 5

Teeth Braces or Dental Braces (orthodontic braces/braces) are used to align and straighten teeth. The application is for cosmetic appearance and overall dental health.
